Mrs Storey, widow OF the celebrated editor,
delights TO tell Of an incident which occurred
some years ago, before the death OF Mr.
storey. A friend OF the editor OF The Times
was running for office. OF course Storey
helped him out. The paper contained Few
editorial paragraphs praising the candidate,
but what pleased the gentleman most was the
handsome reports Of his speeches which APP
reared I'm the city columns. According to the
reports in The Times, the candidate was an
eloquent orator who nightly stirred the pas
sions and won the applause OF his hearers
The candidate felt very grateful to The lines
people for their kindness, and one evening
when he was In the Office To see Storey the
thought occurred 10 him that it would be a
good thing to tender the reporters, who had
done such wonderful things for his speeches.
some token Of his appreciation. 80 he
marched into the managing editors room
Chamberlain was managing editor at the
time-and said to that gentleman:

So the candidate folded up his $40 noto,

THE MESSAGE ACCEPTED by THE
PEOPLE.

We have published every day since
Monday enough extracts from the ablest
newspapers Of the country, as well as
dispatches from abroad, to show the drift
Of public opinion ON the Presidents
message, and In the reflection OF public
opinion we see what thoughtful men,
business men, politicians, and PROBES
sional men and newspapers saw at hrst,
viz. That the President had boldly laid
down the chart of great reform, which
only needs 10 be understood To be ac-
cepted as the true Democratic policy
Republicans pretend not to understand
the message, because they put their party
straight on protection Of monopoly, and
attempt to create The popular belief that
it is protection Of labor. The President
is fortunate in puncturing this iallacy az
effectually as he does the charge OF Tree
trade brought against the Democrats.
Even admitting that labor is protected
by high tariff, there are only 2,0Oo,o"o
working men who would beprotected, and
the truth is that the wages of these would
be worth a third more under the system
proposed by the President, for the neces-
saries of life would be that much cheaper.
We beg the working men 10 look sensl-
bly, at the simple proposition that We
suggested
Free raw materials increase our manu-
features, and therefore increase employ
ment of labor.
The free raw material puts the price OF
manufactures in competition
with those OF the whole world instead OF
them 10 the home market

wisely that what is needed above all

is unity"
That is the point. If the Democrats
hold the fort for four years longer they
will have long lease of power, and truly
and wisely representing the interest Of
the people, will be able to institute a
policy that will develop the country
rapidly on logical and just principles in p
stead of using the Government for party
purposes, for rings, land steals, and jobs
of all kinds as was done by the Republi-
cans

words of his Paris interview Nothing

A Member of Parliament sends us
suggestive and thoughtful summary
over the Commercial Gables showing the
effect OF Mr. Cleveland's message upon
public opinion in England. 1t would be
strange if so emphatic and resonant a
declaration of financial principles would
be heard with Indifference by .the fnan-
cial magnates OF the world. At the same
time the ignorance of American condi-
tions even among the clearest headed
thinkers abroad is seen in the impression
that Mr.. Cleveland is, to use our CORE
spondent's phrase, doubling around to
free trade" The direct effect of this i'm
preston will be, our correspondent
thinks, to destroy the party known as
" fair traders" which has gained some
importance in England recently-s party
which proposes retaliatory tariffs against
the precedents Of countries which do not
favor free traie in English manufactures.
